Frustrating Game or Challenging Puzzle?

I was cleaning out bookmarks (favourited websites) when I found a bookmark for Petals Around The Rose. I’m not entirely sure if I’m happy or sad that I’ve stumbled across this again, so I thought I’d share my thoughts (read: frustration) about it… I believe my friend sent me this a while back, as we…

Shutter Island (Spoiler Alert!)

Feed by M.T Anderson

I really enjoyed reading “be more chill”, so I looked for novels similar to it. That’s how I found “Feed” Both “be more chill” and “feed” deals with nanotechnology electronics being installed in peoples brains to influence their choices. But the stories are completely different.

Girls and Beauty – YOGA and Dieting

Few weeks ago, my sister told me to do some YOGA with her every night. Since I was considering trying out a new fitness regimen, I said yes immediately.
